Intro: Em G D A x4


D9               D9 *                    G
      When I was sixteen I cut myself a Mohawk,
                        D9
Because I wanted to walk the walk,
    D9 *              G
And not just talk the talk,
                              D9
But it was a bit of a disaster because
    D9 *                   G
I did the sides with kitchen scissors,
                        D9
Because I didn't have any clippers,
    D9 *                   G
And I didn't want to use a beard-trimmer ?
G
I'd made that mistake before.

Em            G                  D               A
When you got home you didn't want to talk about what I'd done.
           Em                  G                  D            A
You said I'd let you down, I'd fucked around, when I was only having fun.
      Em                 G                  D                 A
With the way that you've been lately, you've no right to scream and shout.
      Em             G                A
You and I, we've got a lot that we need to talk about.


D                        A                            Bm
What's the point in making vows that you're never going to keep?
             G                          D
A lifetime lying awake means you'll never get to sleep
D                        A                            Bm.
And all the promises you made, that were painful and untrue,
                   G                     D
Of all the things you do they reflect worst on you.

D G D A
Em G D A


We all have our own devices
For handling mid-life crises ?
Usually involves a motorbike and
Suspicious fashion decisions.
But you choose to stave off grey hairs by
Lamely hacking at the sides
With lies and flimsy alibis
For your suspicious expeditions.

When I get home I don't want to talk about what you've done.
Yes you've let me down, you've fucked around, but I guess you were having fun.
With the way that I've been lately, I've no right to scream and shout.
You and I, we've got a lot that we need to talk about.

What's the point in us making vows that we're never going to keep?
A lifetime lying awake, means youll never get to sleep
And all the promises we made were painful and untrue,
Of all the things you do, they reflect worst on you

F#m4                      Bm                     G
You always told me Father's Day was just another way
                D9 *
Of selling Hallmark greeting cards
F#m4                          Bm                  G
Twenty Years of waking sleep, of lying through your teeth,
                  D                   D9 *                G9
Meant every Father's Day spent wondering who the hell you are.

Em G D A x 2 + C?ntinue throughout final chorus


What's the point in us making vows that we're never going to keep?
I keep trying to keep you up, but you keep on falling asleep.
And all the promises we made were painful and untrue,
                                    G *
But for better or for worse, I am turning into you.
